28th March

Hi Everyone,

A smaller number of people were at quilting today owing to Easter. This didn’t stop our members having a catch-up whilst sewing. We are all busy thinking and sewing for the show, so I am happy to report that Sheila completed a bag and Sue D made 2 hats  to be sold at the show.

🐣🐥🐰Wishing you all a happy Easter and safe travels if you are going away for the long weekend. 

Next week will be our Community Day and we are making daycare hats to sell at the show. If you are able to bring to the workshop your sewing machine and a mini iron it would be appreciated. Alison has prepared hats kits to be sewn.

We were grateful for the installation of a new air conditioning unit in the hall today so we now have 2 working units. Thanks to Hunters Hill Council who organised the works to be completed before we started our quilting today.

7th March Community Day

Hi Everyone,

Today was our Bunting voting day and bag making workshop. All I can say is thank you to everyone who participated in the Bunting challenge and once again I am amazed at the variety produced by our members. The Bunting will be sold at our Quilt Show in August.

The bag making workshop had us all busy and we were able to sew the seven kits prepared by Suzie L, Deb T and Alison. Special thanks to our “supervisor” Marie K who kept us on the straight and narrow as an expert in making the bags.

Bunting







Our viewers choice winner is Heather who made the doll bunting. Thanks to Grace and Akiko who hung the Bunting for us today.

Congratulations Heather enjoy your prize.
